I had always struggled with patience because I always saw patience as a lack of ambition.

And I could never have patience and drive coexist. I just remember having this lightbulb moment where I wrote down everything I was thinking and concluded that - “Life is much more akin to a walk in a park… it’s not a marathon.”

We compare this idea to “Life is a marathon, not a sprint” but that’s not really it either… there’s nothing to accomplish. One day, inevitably, we’ll all die.

And that’s not sad either.

So smell the f*cking roses because we’ve been given here a walk in the park. It’s literally about the journey.

James gives one fantastic example of what this looks like in his life - if any task to grow his business required him to compromise his fitness, eat healthy food, spend time with his loved ones, he just wouldn’t do it. He’d find a way to just scale his business much slower because that’s simply just not what life is about for him.
